Fisher F75

I purchased my F75 back in the 2016 timeframe. Have used it some but not as much as I anticipated. Just some general questions to remind myself why I bought it ... rather than some other detector.

Is The F 75 designed more for coin hunting in parks or going to an old farm site looking for relics?

What kind of depth will the F75 detect a quarter - I understand soil conditions can impact the depth

IMO, it's geared more for relic hunting, but, it's no slouch for coins and jewelry either. Are there better machines? Sure, but, the F75 will find 95% of any other detector for land hunting. Now, hunting for gold nuggets, or, salt water beach hunting, you can do much better with another detector better designed for that. Too many variables to claim any particular depth on a specific target. It's as good as any single frequency machine for coin shooting.

Your F75 will find both. When it comes to what you find (coins vs relics) will have more to do with the location you are detecting in my opinion. I have been swinging the F75LTD since 2014 and am still very happy with it's capabilities. Here in the mild soils of Northern Ohio I have dug a quarter at 11 inches. The majority of older coins have been detected between 3 to 9 inches deep. The F75 was the pinnacle of single frequency VLF detectors in my opinion when it entered the market. I agree with cudamark's comments referring to gold nugget and beach detecting.. The F75 will locate big nuggets and can be used in the dry sands of salt water beaches. I have 4 coils for my machine. In real trashy sites I use the 5"DD or the NEL sharpshooter coil using FA process. In the fields I will us a 15" coil, but for normal detecting I use the stock DD coil. I normally detect in DE mode at 65-75sensitivity and discrimination 0-9 at most sites, in fields and woods I go with zero discrimination and crank up the sensitivity. If I was to upgrade I'd probably buy the Deus II.
